And I don't want anything more then the receipt functionality. It could be a trigger on the e-mail just as spam/protection bla bla bla that we have on other things that are not a mailbox but an e-mail address. Like the bounce information that goes out when someone tries to send an e-mail to an address that does not exist.- Yeah. Did you read what Vasil said? The world is not ideal. Or follow his reasonable suggestion or do nothing and live with it.
